Nahum 3:9-11

Contemporary English Version

⁹ Thebes trusted the mighty power
    of Ethiopia^[a] and Egypt;
the nations of Put^[b] and Libya
    were her allies.
¹⁰ But she was captured and taken
    to a foreign country.
Her children were murdered
    at every street corner.
The members of her royal family
    were auctioned off,
and her high officials
    were bound in chains.
